Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Wale drew similarities between the mixtape's blend of fantasy-inspired lyrics and samples from the show with the way that Wu-Tang Clan appropriated kung fu samples. "Twenty years ago, Wu-Tang was breaking ground," he said. "There are no limitations in hip-hop culture."

Big Boi, who says he has begun reading the books so he can get ahead of the plot, told the paper: "I'm really happy, I get to be part of the process of one of my favorite shows."

Lucy Martinez, a senior vice president at HBO, said the mixtape's mix of hip-hop, Latin and reggae music is an attempt to appeal to "multicultural audiences". "Our multicultural audiences are a very important part of our subscribers, and we don't want to take them for granted," she said.
